Hi all,

No doubt there will be a few cars heading down on the Thursday for an early check in etc. Who is heading down? What are you taking? Driving or trailering?

Ill be leaving Sydney about midday if anyone wants to meet up for the cruise down?

I'll be leaving straight from work around 3PM on Thurs. Trying to decide if I haul all my camera gear, plus track indicentals and rims/tyres (new semis are soft compound so why wear them down on the drive).

I'll be going down thursday sometime. Haven't sorted somewhere to sleep, but may just put a tent up like skyline nationals near the Ram.

If I don't pack too much camping stuff in, I will have room for extra stuff- becuase Wagon.

Ill be rolling down early Sat morning (stupid work), leaving at around 0500 (breaky at chew and spew at Sutton Forest on the way), Im only doing the airport run (unless I can convince the missus that the SnS is more important than the gardening (lolololololosssss)).

See you guys on the road or at the event/s.

Ill be bringing some clear contact adhesive for the rear guards (and front guards for cheaters) if anyone needs some, in case of lots of gravel/stones.

Im expecting coupious amounts of skids, lols and fun for all.

BRING IT ON

Mark, where do you get that clear adhesive stuff?

I got a big roll of the stuff that was going to get binned because no one could find a use for it.

Grab a couple of meters if you want, the roll is .900 x 20 mtr.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
